How an Emp ror was Murdered.
From The EdiabWgh Review.

FROM tftt CAkftcHF Jfe hctf6tEs
The conspirators first met and drank
pretty deep into the night, so that none of
them were really sober when they appeared
before Paul They bad already murdered
the sentry in the passage, and on finding
that the door of the Emperor's room offered
some resistance Pahlen broke it open. He
had in his hand when he did so a snuff-box
Given him by Paul only few days
previously, when the Emperor had spoken
to him of conspiracy on foot, and when
Pahlen had treasured him by asking how
that could be? ''for if there were such a
thing / should be sure to have heard of it."
Now, the half-naked Gar confronted
Pahlen with the angry exclamation. "What,
YOU there, Pahlenm Beningsen then stepped
forward. acting as spokesman for the rest,
and told the Emperor that he must abdicate

of the officer on duty at the foot of the stair
coSe the conspirators had had il all their own
way: but now noise frightened them and
made them fear that a rescue was being
nttempted. IL really came from the En-
press rooms. She, hearing the scutfie, ran
ont and swooued az the back of Paul's door
An attendant offered glass OF water, but
the Cossack on guard in her passage, fear
ING trencher'y also in this case, dashed down
the Cldss, ard ran to fill another from q
source which he knew was imprisoned.
Meanwhile TO the frenzy of their deep pota-
tions the conspiratois now added the stimu-
LIANT of fear. Paul must die he must not be
rescued. must not survive 60 tell who had
threatened him, nor even to plot, in an en-
forced confinement, vengeance on those who
had robbed him OF power. He had already
tested the trap-door, and on finding it
locked had given way to paroxysyn Of ter
ror and fury. Then it was that the armed
men closed in upon him; the brothers

est. and Nicholas Zubow striking the first
blow with a chair. This Frustrated him.
The sash of Pahlen seemed 10 be the weapon
most suitable for their purpose, namely, TO
inflict violent death which should leave
few traces of violence, and which might be
ascribed 10 a fit. The Courlander's sash
was tied round the Emperor's neck, and
then the officer on guard IA Russian pur

divinity which, in the native Russian

GLADsTONEs CANES.
Peculiar Collection of Walking Sticks
Priced by the Great Engl.shman.
From the Pan Mall Gazette.


From the Pan Mall Gazette.
During a visit to Hawarden, Mr.. Willis,
while in the library, said that he had prom
ised his wife to try and induce Mr.. Glad
stone to part with a walking stick, that he
might carry it off as souvenir of the day.
The great chief smiled, and, going to a
corner, produced a thick, serviceable baton.
81 cannot give you this" he said, looking
at it as if it were an old friend; II bought it
five-and twenty years ago at'--mentioning
some Gaelic place ending in .feechdjl--" and
it has been many a mile with me since. -
| Mt once thought / could recognize it as the
famous "piece Of timber" lost by Dir. John
son more than a century ago in the
Hebrides, and about which he made Bos-
well so miserable. "You will get it agaia,
sir said Jamie; sit cannot have been
stolen 81 don't know as to that, sir, y
Numbered the photographer. Consider
the temptation it must have been. 1t is the
only piece of timber on these islands," And
so pleased was the great Sam with his joke
that il restored hiul TO equanmitY and
good humor But to return to Hawarden
Mrs. Gladstone Was dispatched to bring in
an assortment of whlking sticks, and soon
reappeared with some that We're marvels Of

cannot give away what were given TO me. y
Mrs. Gladstone explained that they were
only brought for inspection as curiosities,
and that more sticks were coming.
Meanwhile we inspected those brought.
One of them, of light-colored wood, con-
sisted of curious coils and convolutions, and
looked like the emblem associated with
.Fsculapius. the son of Apollo and Corons.
whom Chiron taught the art Of healing; or
like the caduceus Of Hermes Another was
carved like Gothic sceptre, and, turning it
about, | read aloud the legend that ran
twining around its length, Home Rule for
Scotland" This arrested Mr. Gladstone's
attention, and be slowly re-read it. "Well,r
he at length observed, whatever the
Scotch make mp their mind to ask for they
will get" And then he added: "But
don't think they will want much BY this
time other sticks were brought, but, If
possible, still more grotesque. One looked
as if il had tumblcd down and broken its
knee, which had reset itself with the most
hideous excrescences. ''No, nol' cried our
host; mot that either, my dear. That was
only given me last week. And then, set-
ting OF with the air OF a man who Is con-
WINGED that if the right thing is TO DO done
one must so and do it oneself, he left the
room.

AN EXPLORERS SUICIDE.
Lieut.. John w. Danenhower Kills Him

Lieut.. John w. Danenhower Kills Him.
Eeif at the Annapolis Academy.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 2O.-Lieut.
John W. Danenhower, OF Arctic fame,
was discovered at 10 O'Clock I'll is
morning dead, in his quarters at the
Naval Academy, with bullet hole IN
his right temple. He was found lay
ing on his rug IN front OF his fireplace
with tag tied to MS buttonhole say
ing: "Send to my brother at Wash.
ington." Although he has had men.
tai troubles since hereturned from the
Arctic regions, what Immediately led
to the suicide Is thought to have been
the recent grounding OF the Constella-
tion on its way to Norfolk, of which he
had charge, and for which it Is sup
posed he had a fear OF being court
martialed. Furthermore he was very
intimate with young Robert W. Gate
wood, who recently committed suicide
on the Carolina, and whom he saw in
death. It is supposed that this death
suggested the mode to him. The de-
ceased othCer was q son-ln-law or Sem
ator George B. Sloan of OsWego, n. Y.
His wife and two children are now in
that city. He was about 35 years
old and an intelligent and polished
officer.
Lieut.. Danenhower WAS the second Off
Ger of the ili-fated exploring ship Jeanette,
sent out under Lieut.. Commander De Long
by James Gordon Bennett o. the New
York Herald. After the loss OF the Jean.
nette and the memorable retreat aero So
the ice to the Siberian coast Lieut. Dan
enhower's boat was the only one to reach
civilization. The crew under Lieut.. Chipp
was drowned by the capsizing OF their
boat, and those under De Long, it will be
remembered, starved to death in the Lena
Delta after landing. Lieut.. Denenhower
had some trouble with one OF his eyes, and
during the retreat was SO nearly blind that
his boat wac placed In charge Of Engineer
Melville, to whose skill the survivors OF the
Jeanette undoubtedly owe their lives.
The mental trouble that caused Lieut.,
Danenhower TO commit suicide evidently
orlpinated in his affected eve.

MONTREAL, April 22.-Montreal and
the valley of the st. Lawrence in the
immediate vicinity are again inundat-
ed. An ice gorge caused by an i'm
mense field Of late ice, which, crashing
into the basin Immediately above
Victoria bridge, caused a movement
In front OF the city. This soon be-
coming jammed at the head OF st.
Helen's Island caused the water to
rise four feet in as many minutes,
flooding Point st. Charles, Griffin
town, st. Paul, McGill and all other low
lying cities. The Grand Trunk shops
and yards are under water. The Albion
Hotel and Western House have two
feet OF water 10 their dining rooms.
st. Anne's Market has four feet OF
water and Chaboillez Square has the
appearance Of an inland lake. The
Nuns Island is under water and 800
head OF cattle are reported drowned.
The nuns themselves had to flee for
their lives in their night-clothes. In
the poorer quarters OF the city, suffer
ing is great, as the poor people have
no means OF obtaining provisions.
Relief committees are now being
formed on the south side OF the river
La Prairie, st. Lambert and Lorgue-
vile are under water. At the lat
ter place those living on the river
bank were awakened by the ice
crashing into the houses, carry
ing away the roofs and the walls.
Some OF the people had miraculous
escapes. The fine residence OF Richard
Smardon, which cost thousands to
build, is a complete wreck. At St.
Hilaire three Uwo-story houses are
demolished. From the back river the
same disastrous intelligence is re-
ceived. Barns and bridges are carried
away, and there is an immense loss
to live stock. The loss to the busi-
ness community is heavy, but not as
heavy as last year, as many were
prepared for the emergency. The
blasting experiments have proved a
complete failure, and have had no ef.

ENTERS THE MINISTRY.

A Bald-Knobber Surrenders the Mask
and Knife for a Clerical Robe.
OZARK. Mo-, April ] 19.-Sheriff Ohm
son will to-day bring from Springfield
the hald-knobber chief and his thirteen
associates, to await the action OF the
special grand jury, who will investi-
gate the Edens-Green murder. The
sheriff summoned q strong guard to
meet him at the train, aud word has
been sent to the country requesting
the farmers who intend coming to
bring their guns along. Every pre-
caution will be taken to prevent the
baldknobbers from escaping the juris-
diction OF the legal tribunal they have
so long openly defed. A number OF
the frien is OF the prisoners have ar
rived in town and are ercamped on a
common adjoining the town, where
they cook their meals with consider
able show OF cheerfulness. Two OF
John Matthews brothers are among
the number. A complete investigation
will implcate many more than
Walker and his comrades in custody,
and many will have cause to regret
wearing the black mask. Capt. Kidder,
the royal bald-knobber, chief OF Mis-
souri, Arkansas and Indian Territory,
was baptized yesterday and contem-
plates spending the balance OF his life
in the ministry.
